Hush Child, Don't Speak

A little experiment I whipped up after working on homework and studying for a test all weekend. I've had this idea on my mind for a while now and needed to just put it down.  I also have been feeling like trying out a clashing color/two-toned sort of thing. So, two birds, one stone.

So, as to the content:  First off, it's Shiv in his Cave Lion form. Shiv normally has a easy-going, happy-go-lucky, and somewhat careless feel to him. He's always grinning or smiling and would be the first to try to cheer you up if you're feeling down. However, he's not without his own baggage. He never speaks it out loud or shows it though, so this is a bit of what it's like inside when he's on the verge of taking off his mask of happiness and unveiling his own troubles.  Of course, he never gets that far because he doesn't like to burden others with it, he doesn't really think anyone will be able to understand or help, and he quite frankly doesn't like to think about it much. Instead, he seeks out company to help himself keep faking it. 

So yea.
